Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Face-to-face communication is better than other types of communication, such as letters, email, or telephone calls

Technological development have made the world easy to communicate by many sources. With a busy life and easy way of communication people are avoiding face to face communication. Nothing can replace the value of face to face communication. We communicate over e-mails, text or phone, but even then, messages get misinterpreted and a sense of personal connection is never truly established.

First of all, by face to face communication we can the person's attitude, words, facial expression, gesture, body language, tone of voice and many more. Based on these expressions we can know if the person is telling truth or lying. For instance, in a business meetings, one single five minute conversation can eliminate fifteen back and forth e-mails. There will be more opportunities to meet more people, participate and contribute creativity, more discussion and innovative thinking. Which helps direct communication without any delays.

In addition, prevent and resolve conflicts, express the feelings directly. Resolving conflicts over phone, e-mails is a waste of time. You can't see the person's face or body language to solve the problem and it will be on going thing. If a couple love each other, the best way is to communicate directly and express their feelings and build relationship. For example, if we travel to other country and we don't know the language the best way to communicate with local people is by sign language, facial expression and many more.

Furthermore, face to face communication can eliminate isolation and stress that come from sitting alone in front of computer or just sending text. How much we can express our feelings only by typing, mainly people use global language English to communicate, but sometimes, it feels good to express in our mother language. For instance, some jokes said in mother language can't be effectively expressed word to word in English with funny body language.

In short, face to face communication helps to know the other person's reaction, best way to express our feelings, reduces stress by communicating directly. Face to face communication can not be replaced by any-other means. Best way to understand clearly and save time with no more long messages.

Communication among people is a very important part of people lives. When we communicate together, we express our emotions, solve our problems, and spend pleasant times together. Some people prefer to communicate through cell phones, e-mails, or personally. I would like personal communication, face to face, because of the following reasons.

To begin with, face to face communication enables us to understand people better and easier. By looking to the facial expressions of people, we can understand their emotions and whether they are satisfied or not about we are talking about. For example, when I talk to my boss at work about a problem or if I want to take a vacation, I can understand if she will agree or not by looking to her face and see if she is happy or angry. According to that I can choose the way and words to converse with her. On the other hand, by using cell phones, we cannot know what people exactly feel. Furthermore, using e-mails has no emotions at all. Thus, personal communication, face to face, is the better way to understand people well.

Secondly, face to face communication is faster. Talking to people directly helps us get immediate response. For instance, once I called my friend who works in a pharmacy to check a price for a specific medication, but she did not reply. Then I sent her an e-mail, and she replied that she will check it within two days. When there is no response, I went to the pharmacy and talked to them face of face. They checked the price for me within few minutes. Therefore, we can get a response faster if we communicate directly face to face.

To sum up, even though people use different communication means, I always prefer to converse with people face to face because this way more efficient and fast.
